Joyce may face Makhmudov in April

European heavyweight champion Joe Joyce (12-0, 11 KOs) may have his next fight in April. The boxer's promoter Frank Warren said that Arslanbek Makhmudov (11-0, 11 KOs) is one of the possible rivals of the Briton.

Joyce, 35, last fought in November. The Englishman stopped the previously undefeated Daniel Dubois. After this victory, he, among other things, climbed to second place in the WBO rankings.

Makhmudov, who lives in Canada, returned to the ring in October after almost a year of hiatus. The Russian in the professional ring managed to score a victory over the former world champion Samuel Peter.
